Music Moves These Newfoundland Teens!

Published Friday April 10th 2015

Music moves
us in countless ways.

Earlier this
year, TD and the East Coast Music Association
invited Newfoundland high school students to enter the Music Moves Me contest
by recording a video of themselves performing an original or cover song, and
posting it to YouTube. We also asked why
music moves them.

Music Moves
Me is part of Soundwaves, a program that gives younger artists a chance to participate
in East Coast Music Week, taking place in St. John's, NL from April 8-12.

Congrats to
winner Jenny Mallard who earned $1,000 for her school’s music program plus
passes to the ECMA’s Gala on April 9.

Enjoy the
videos from all three top contestants!

Jenny Mallard (Mount Pearl
Senior High)

“Music moves
me by giving so many opportunities for new experiences. I have met amazing
people through being involved with music, and they have influenced me. Also,
being able to influence people through the songs I write and/or perform is the most
moving thing in the world!”

Dylan Ruth and Emma Peckford
(Corner Brook Regional High)

“For us, music is a way to bring people together. Friendships
and connections can form through the bond of music. Music can also help you get
in touch with yourself, lift your spirits, and be a way to cope with difficult
things. Music moves people together, moves you forward, and moves you to
happiness.”

“My
grandfather taught me to play guitar, and I always sang with him. A few years
ago, I lost him to a long battle with cancer, and have strived more than ever
to chase after my dream of being a musician. Music has always comforted me, and
has made me the person I am today. Music did more than move me; it changed my
life.”
